    Question Questioin on tinting head/tail light

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    My headlight got some very little dents from the cars in front of me while driving on hwy's.

    My question here is if I use the Lamin-X or other films to smoke my headlight, would it leave bubbles in the tint after application?

    I personally think it will leave bubbles, and if that is the case, it there any way for me to repair it so that I can do a perfect tint afterwards?

    Thanks a lot!

    If you apply it correctly, there won't be any bubbles... If you're unsure about doing it yourself, bring it to a tint shop and have them do it... It's fairly easy to do though...

    There will be a couple small bubbles, but they can be avoided by taking your time. Lamin-X is very user/error-friendly. Fogginess/cloudiness will disappear after some time being exposed to the sun. Bubbles can be "popped" with your average sewing needle. Lamin-X says that the film is "seal annealing," which means that the holes that you've poked in the film, to let the air out, will seal up eventually.

    Here are a couple shots of the "Tint" shade on mine..









    They don't look AS dark in person. The 3rd pic is probably the most accurate representation, when looking at it head-on.

    Hey Ultim, did you go with the 'smoke' tint or the 'gun smoke' tint on the fronts. I've seen gunsmoked rears and they look nearly untinted. Just wanted to get your answer on what you put on your fronts and what you thought of gunsmoke rears.

    (Noober here. Just got my A4 a month ago... it's a sexy bitch and I am pleased)
